World Championship Sled Dog Races

February 26-28, 2016

Cornerstone Event of Fur Rondy

Voted “Best Event” by the International Sled Dog Racing Association, this has been attracting mushers from Alaska and the world since 1946. Produced in partnership with the Alaskan Sled Dog Racing Association, the race pits sprint mushing teams against each other over three days of the same 25-mile route for a total of 75 miles. Starting from the corner of Fourth Avenue and D Street in downtown Anchorage, the course – lined with thousands of spectators – winds through the city’s forests, across major roads and back downtown. Best viewing locations.

2015 Schedule

Unfortunately, due to the warm weather and heavy rain, the trail conditions are too rough to be able to conduct the races this year.
